Explicació
The word "fleeting" means lasting for a very short time, brief, or transient. The opposite of "fleeting" is something that is long-lasting or enduring. Therefore, option C, "long," is the opposite in meaning. It indicates a visit that is not brief but rather of an extended or prolonged duration. Options A and D are not opposite in meaning, and option B is a synonym for "fleeting."
